Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) technology has been gradually gaining traction in the healthcare industry and has the potential to significantly transform the way that patients receive medical care. VR technology delivers an immersive experience that may improve diagnosis, treatment, and overall patient outcomes by enabling patients and medical professionals to visualise and interact with medical data more effectively and intuitively. VR can help patients gain a better understanding of their medical diagnoses and treatments. Better health results may result from this and an improvement in the way care is delivered generally. In conclusion, VR technology creates an exceptional opportunity for medical practitioners to transform the way they treat patients. The field of digital health is an emerging discipline that integrates technology and healthcare to boost overall care, save costs, and improve patient outcomes.
